Add a branch (Cloud only)

Organization and project admins can add a branch to a project. Once added, all users can view and work in the branch.

Organization and Project Admins only

You need organization or project admin permissions for this task.

Important considerations
  • Only one branch per project can be added.

  • A project with existing cross-project associations can’t be branched.

  • Once the branch is added, it is visible to all users.

  • After you add a branch, you can’t move items from the main project or its branches to another project. You can still reorder items within a project, and those changes appear as "moved" in the comparison view.

To add a branch:

  1. Select PROJECTS, then open the project where you want to add the branch.

  2. From the Branch drop-down menu, select Add branch.
